About Us

Wilshire Boulevard Temple is a congregation that honors the ancient traditions of Judaism in a thoroughly modern context. A welcoming and inclusive community that values tradition, innovation, community service, and Jewish education.

Prayer

Prayer is at the core of Jewish life. As a reform-centered congregation, Wilshire Boulevard Temple blends tradition, innovation, spirituality and education to draw members to a deeper love of Torah, God, Israel, and the social justice concept of Tikkun Olam.

Life Cycle

Our years are gifts, all to be appreciated and never to be taken for granted. Along the way are special moments that we as Jews honor with proper celebration, reverence, and solemnity. We provide all the necessary guidance and support to honor these special milestones of our lives.

Programs

We have a full array of programs that add to the richness and celebration of Judaism: Special events, programs for women, programs for men, programs for students, B’nei Mitzvah study, community groups, cultural events, readings and so much more.

Volunteer

It is the duty of every Jew to seek justice, much of it through the tradition of Tikkun Olam, repair the world. Wilshire Boulevard Temple provides a wide variety of ways to engage through voluntary programs that serve the Los Angeles community and beyond.

Schools and Camps

Education is at the core of being Jewish. Please click on the Early Childhood Center, Brawerman Elementary schools, Religious School, or Camp names to visit their websites and learn more about the best in a Jewish-based education that helps mold the essence of a fulfilled and fulfilling Jewish life.
